Services for E.B. Spillers were held in St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Fort Worth. One of the largest floral offerings ever seen at a funeral in Fort Worth was banked in the church where Rev. E.H. Eckel, rector emeritus, read the Episcopal Funeral. Friends from all over the Southwest journeyed to Fort Worth to attend the funeral, for he was one of the best-known men in Southwestern Cattlemen's activities. He was in charge of the Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association since 1910.

SPILLER, E. BERKELEY
There are no cattlemen in western and northwestern Texas whose labors and characters have caused wider respect or deeper admiration than those which are represented by the Loving and the Spiller families. Their representatives have not only stood forth as large figures in their private enterprises but have donated generously of their years and abilities to the promotion of the cattle industry as one of the gigantic interests of the Lone Star state and the southwest. The result is that the typical cattleman of Texas, both of the old times and the new, has taken it for granted that whenever a Spiller or a Loving appears on the scene he is entitled to the best possible opportunity in the continuance of the ancestral record.
E. Berkeley Spiller, of Fort Worth, assistant secretary of the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association, is energetically and ably continuing the splendid work inaugurated by his maternal grandfather. Captain James C. Loving, when that organization was founded in 1877. Mr. Spiller was born at Jacksboro, Texas, in 1885. His great-grandfather, Colonel Oliver Loving, was one of the earliest pioneers and cattlemen in Jack county and west Texas, and in that part of the state the family still retain large interests. For years none connected with the great industry were better known than the Lovings, Oliver (the father) and James C. (the son). The latter was at the height of his prosperity, influence, popularity and energy when the cattlemen responded so heartily to the suggestion that they organize for mutual benefit and the business good of the state. When, therefore, the Cattle Raisers' Association of Texas was organized at Graham, Young county, in February, 1877, James C. Loving, of Jack county, was elected to the office of secretary, which carried with it the most active and heaviest burdens connected with the systematic promotion of the cattle interests of the state. As long as Mr. Loving lived his position was secure, and he held it, by successive re-elections, until his decease, November 24, 1902. He also filled the office of treasurer from 1879 to 1893, and that of general manager of the association from 1884 until his death. To James C. Loving, more than to any other one man has always been freely accorded the honor of bringing the great success which has marked every distinct step taken by the association.
At the death of Captain Loving, Mr. Spiller entered the office of the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association and served under four different administrations - those of Murdo MacKenzie, of Trinidad, Colorado; Hon. W. W. Turney, of El Paso; Colonel Ike T. Pryor, of San Antonio; and James Callan, of Menardville. In his annual message to the San Antonio convention of 1908, Colonel Pryor took occasion to speak in the highest terms of Mr. Spiller's work, which has embraced the able performance of duties as assistant secretary (since 1906) and acting secretary during several months of 1907. It is universally conceded that there is no man of his years in Texas better informed on all the phases of the cattle business than Mr. Spiller. and he is fast adding to the record of the Spiller family in behalf of the advancement of the association.
Mr. Spiller is a son of George and Belle (Loving) Spiller, and both his parents are living at his native town of Jacksboro, Jack county. It was in that part of Texas that he was reared, but in 1901 moved to Fort Worth and spent one year in school there. He then entered the office of the secretary of the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association as bookkeeper, the head of the department then being the late Captain John T. Lytle, who succeeded Captain Loving. Mr. Spiller's rapid and substantial advancement since then is a part of the progress of the association, in whose subsequent history he is destined to be largely concerned.
